Chapter 22: Liu Rao Comes to Visit

A rare sunny day.

Huan Ci got up early in the morning to dress up, because yesterday Mrs. Liu handed over a greeting card and said she would come to visit.

When she saw the signature on the invitation, she realized that the woman's name was Liu Rao.

She lives next door, and Huan Ci would welcome her to come and sit there, if there hadn't been the incident of following her before.

After she came back that day, she thought about it all night, and she still felt that Fu Shen was here to catch someone raped.

This could also explain why he had a bad face that night. After all, no one would be happy if he was wearing a cuckold, and she had no scruples in reminding him of the embarrassment three years ago, so Fu Shen was angry.

Huan Ci nodded affirmatively, feeling that his inference was very reasonable.

She was about to find something to give as a gift to Liu Rao, when she suddenly heard someone shouting in the yard.

"Girl, there is a letter from the prince!"

Huan Ci jumped three feet high and ran out without even bothering to put on his outer clothes.

"Show me quickly." She quickly took away the envelope and went back into the house.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ayao came out with a basin of water, shook her head at the people standing outside the door waiting for instructions, and signaled them not to go in yet.

Yanmen Pass was lost, and the army retreated to Bingzhou. The people sent by the imperial court also suffered heavy casualties.

The girl's eyes turned red immediately after reading the letter. Ayao planned to give some advice, but was afraid of making her cry, so he found an excuse to give instructions to the others.

Inside the room, Huan Ci held the letter in his hand and stared blankly at the doorframe.

At least her father's injuries are much better, which is the most important thing. The two corpses buried in Hedong have also been brought back by her father. In this way, her assassination case and Kihara's murder case will soon be linked.

There are clues.

I don’t know if it was because her father felt that it was unsafe to write letters, but Modi was not mentioned at all in the letter. He only expressed that he was satisfied with her marriage to Zong Zhengche and asked her to stay in the capital.

Now that there is no danger for her to stay here, it is better for Ah Lian to go back, not only to help her father, but also to find out some new information.

"Ayao." She shouted towards the door.

Ayao quickly opened the door and came in, secretly looking at Huan Ci's expression.

Huan Ci was amused by her and shouted softly: "Girl, how can you not be honest?"

Ayao chuckled: "What are your orders, girl?"

"Go and call Ah Lian, I want him to go back to Bingzhou."

"I'll go right away!"

Ayao happily walked out, but suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Girl, the guests have arrived."

The maid's voice came through the door.

Huan Ci straightened up his appearance in the mirror, and then walked out.

Liu Rao was standing under the platform and raised his lips when he saw her.

Today, Huan Ci wears a crown and a hairband, and wears a prancing horse coat. He has an indescribable heroic demeanor.

"I have met Princess Ding'an." She bowed respectfully.

Huan Ci quickly stepped forward to support her and asked her to come inside.

"I haven't visited since I moved here. It's really disrespectful that you still miss me." Huan Ci led her to sit down in the living room.

Liu Rao smiled and then began to praise the furnishings in her room.

Normally, Huan Ci hated talking to others, but now that this person was not very familiar to her, it made her even more miserable.

Thanks to Ayao's occasional words of reassurance, the scene didn't become too embarrassing.

The three of them talked about the furnishings, then the clothes, and then the customs and customs of Bingzhou.

Huan Ci glanced at A Yao who was talking eloquently with a smile. The girl's eyes lit up when she talked about Bingzhou.

It's just Liu Rao, talking about a lot of things here and there, not knowing what he wants to do?

Huan Ci suddenly realized that she had felt disgusted with this man for some time. Could it be because of what happened that day?

This is not okay. How can you judge a person based on unfounded things?

Huan Ci shook his head, hating himself for being like this.

"well!"

Liu Rao suddenly lost his smile and stared at the tea cup in his hand with a sad expression.

"What's going on?" Huan Ci looked at her at a loss.

Wasn't it fine just now?

"The princess doesn't know that our father is a conscientious man. These days, I see him busy investigating Kihara's case, and he always refuses to take a break late at night."

What did she want to say?

Huan Ci frowned slightly, but said comforting words: "Master Fu is a loyal person, and he will do his best to do what your Majesty orders."

Liu Rao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and said softly: "Don't you have any clues about this matter, Princess? Who exactly wants to deal with you?"

"I don't know." Huan Ci looked at her alertly, wondering what her intentions were.

"Princess, don't worry too much." Liu Rao held her hand on the table, "I just want to help you and the third master. After all, those people could have become your support in the capital, and the third master wanted to solve the case.

I also lost a lot of weight.”

"Do you know anything?" Huan Ci looked at her directly.

Liu Rao shook his head: "What can I, a reclusive woman, know about? However, in my humble opinion, if the princess has any clues about the murderer, she must bring them out, so that the truth will be revealed soon."

"I don't have any clues." Huan Ci still stared at her intently.

"That's it." Liu Rao raised his lips and smiled, "Then I have to trouble the third master to put more effort into it. But I don't know how the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment is going? I think with the crown prince sitting in charge and you being the future crown prince, they will not

If you do it perfunctorily, you will definitely be able to find out the murderer. I just don’t know if they have any clues. After all, this matter is jointly tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. It’s a pity that they are very at odds.”

"Is there anything else?" Huan Ci pretended to be surprised, but he was already impatient in his heart.

This person was beating around the bush and didn't say anything useful for a long time, and he kept trying to trick her.

"Alas!" Liu Rao sighed again, "This matter has spread all over Yingdu. Now people in the capital are in panic. Everyone will avoid Muyuan when going outside the city for fear of any accidents. There are rumors that there are wild beasts in Muyuan. I wonder if the princess can

Have you heard?"

Beast?

Huan Ci frowned. It seemed that the government tried their best to suppress this matter. She could understand this. More than twenty people died at once. If it was said that they were all killed by others, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"I don't believe this. People's words are frightening, and someone's desire to cover up the facts is even more hateful. If the princess really has any clues, she must investigate carefully and never let the murderer escape." Liu Rao looked at him with special eyes.

deep.

Huan Ci secretly observed her expression and considered her words in his heart.

Did she really mean to advise her to be more careful about people with ulterior motives? And Fu Shen, did she really investigate this matter as seriously as she said?

"I'll remember what you said, thank you!" Huan Ci said in a deep voice as he bought her a cup of tea.

Liu Rao took two more sips of tea, then stood up to leave: "It's getting late, I've been bothering you for a long time, now it's time for me to go back."

"Come here, take Mrs. Liu back." Huan Ci ordered the people outside the door.

After the woman's figure disappeared from sight, she turned to look at A Yao who was also confused.

"Call Ah Lian quickly, I have something to ask him."
